I will stamp all over 'credible boxer' Jake Paul - Joshua
Anthony Joshua prepares to battle the American YouTuber in an eight-bout contest which will be broadcast live on the streaming platform.
Briton Anthony Joshua stated he will "stamp all over" Jake Paul and "defeat" the American as the combatants came face-to-face to publicize next month's heavyweight fight.
Ex two time world boxing king Joshua battles social media star turned fighter Jake Paul - in what is, on paper, a massive mismatch - at Miami Kaseya Center on 19 December.
Boxer's Mindset
"I'm going to break his face and hurt his body. I aim to demonstrate I'm superior," Joshua, 35, stated.
"I will dominate him completely. That's a fighter's mentality.
"I will really want to injure him. That's what I want to do."
Civil Interaction
Despite those words, a composed Joshua and social media star Jake Paul - usually famous for his theatrics - were respectful and kept it respectful with each other.
Paul instead criticized ex Joshua rival Francis Ngannou and described him as "not serious" after the Cameroonian turned down a fight offer.
Taking Aim at Fury
Joshua, meanwhile, took aim at British rival Fury - and refused a large bet 'The Gypsy King' claims he will make on a victory for Paul.
"Jake Paul is better than Fury - he's actually sitting here," Joshua stated.
"I respect him for that."
Legitimate Fighter
In spite of declaring he will hurt Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua refused to speak negatively about his rival's boxing ability.
"Jake Paul is a serious fighter," he remarked.
Jake Paul's Background
Paul - who initially became famous on the television network - has primarily fought mixed martial artists or declining opponents since entering professional boxing.
He lost to Briton Fury in last year.
Financial Success
Still, the relative newcomer remains one of the sport's biggest financial successes, frequently receiving huge earnings.
Prediction and Belief
The 28 year old forecast a KO victory in round four or five and stated he would stop the highly-expected match between Joshua and Fury, which is apparently under discussion for 2026.
"It's going to be me versus Tyson Fury in the coming year," Paul said.
Size Difference
As Joshua and Paul met for the customary stare-down, with their physical disparity evident, it highlighted just how improbable this entire matchup is - and how astonishing it is that the match is actually proceeding.
